How Accessible Are Australian University Web Sites? (Dey Alexander) This paper reports on a recent study of the accessibility of Australian
University web sites. A selection of key pages from all 45 Australian tertiary education websites were analysed to assess their compliance with basic accessibility standards, as required by Australian anti-discrimination legislation. The results - 98 percent of sites failed to comply - suggest that Australian
university web sites are likely to present significant barriers to access for
people with disabilities. Web accessibility is poorly understood by university web publishers, and procedures are not in place to ensure that University web sites provide equitable access to important online resources. http://ausweb.scu.edu.au/aw03/papers/alexander3/paper.html
